Old World Harness Leather Sides

This is the same high grade harness leather we use for the leather strapping on our pack saddles, nosebands, and lash cinches. The quality and durability of Hermann Oak Harness leather cannot be touched! All hides are harvested and tanned in the US.

Please note that we cannot accept returns once the leather has been cut.

About the Leather Tannery

We use traditional Old World Hermann Oak harness leather for our straps, pack saddle rigging, breeching and breastcollars. Why Hermann Oak? Because Hermann Oak has continually set the standard for quality leather tanning since 1881, and is now one of the few American tanneries remaining. They know that quality leather begins with the best hides. The Hermann Oak Leather Company uses only Prime Grade Heavy U.S. Native Steer Hides in their St. Louis tannery. They still use the finest natural tree bark in their tanning liquors for wonderful richness and texture. The leather is tanned until it is firm, strong, and tight-fibred. Their skilled technicians then hand-work each side for a smooth, consistent, even-colored piece of leather. The leather is stuffed in drums with heavy tallow for exceptional weather wear, thickness, ease of cutting, and durability in the field.
